To find
work or being offered a job as a non EU foreigner in the
Netherlands is not easy. Most jobs require you to speak
and write Dutch. There are very restrictive regulations
regarding the employment of non EU/EFTA citizens. The
only areas where there is a shortage of labor are low
paying jobs in retail, restaurants/bars or teaching
English as a Foreign Language (for which you need a TOEFL
teaching certification) and in highly skilled IT
or software engineering jobs. (Masters degree or
PhD level, not web design, computer technicians etc.) All
residence and work permits for non EU/EFTA citizens have
to be issued by a Dutch Embassy abroad. Therefore, do
not travel to the Netherlands in the hope of getting a
job and a work permit.You
should also note, that the Netherlands have now
introduced a test which is intended to show,
whether your social values are those that the host
country cherishes, i.e. reflect Dutch liberal
views or, at least, tolerate them. This is not an
unreasonable step, since, many of the new immigrants
views run contrary to what Dutch society wants. There are
now also new government requirements about learning
Dutch. Therefore, inform yourself well,
before you depart and take on a new job in the
Netherlands!

A Dutch
work permit is employer specific. The company must
demonstrate that you have a certain set of skills
necessary for the position and that they were not able to
fill the position with an EU/EFTA candidate. If
you have a permit to work for one company and then want
to switch jobs, you will need a new work permit.

EU/EFTA
nationals have the right to live and work in the
Netherlands without a work permit. If you have a job and
a work permit you have to register at the local Foreign
Police (Vreemdelingenpolitie) registration office
within 8 days of your arrival. That office will give you
all the details about what papers to bring etc. Do not
delay that, because you will get a fine if you do not
appear within the 8 days.

Wages
are below average compared to the rest of Europe. They
are higher than in Spain and Italy, but lower than in
England, Germany, Ireland, France and especially
Switzerland. The cost of living in the Netherlands used
to be fairly low. But, since the introduction of the
Euro, prices have gone up significantly. For instance, a
single room (studio of about 30 square meters) apartment
in Amsterdam, Den Hague or Rotterdam, outside
rent control, on the free market, will cost you
about Euro 800 (just below US$ 1,200 - 2010) a month. Good
housing is extremely difficult to find.

The
Importance of having a solid and well written
Résumé/Curriculum Vitae

The first
contact point between a potential employer or
his executive recruiter and a candidate is generally the
résumé and your cover letter. Thus, the
quality of presenting yourself to a potential
employer or an executive recruiter is crucial in
your job search. Remember, you have, maybe, 5
minutes to convince your counterpart, when he looks at
your résumé, that you are the person
for the job. That is why having a top professionally
written résumé is an important
investment!

There
are numerous good résumé writing
services available to help you create the right format.
You can find some of the ones we have tested at ourResume
Advice Page . They are all good
quality, but vary in price and you get what you pay for!
There is also an Interview
Advice Pagewhich you might
want to consult.

You
should also be aware that many of the European
top executive recruiters will not accept
unsolicited résumé's/CV's. You might be lucky
that they have just contracted a client looking
for exactly your qualifications. But, as a
general rule, they do not keep your submission on
file, except if it is for a specific job.

Housing
in the Netherlands

The
Netherlands are a densely populated country. It
is therefore not surprising that good rental housing, in
the free market ("vrije" - not rent controlled)
is not easy to get, at a reasonable price. This
is especially true of the major urban centers and its
surroundings, e.g. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague,
Utrecht, Breda, Maastrich, Eindhoven, etc. Most
expatriates will remain for a limited time (2 to 5 years)
in the Netherlands. Consequently, we only deal with
rental accommodation here and not with how to buy a
property. Just one small thing about buying: Unlike in
the USA, people in the Netherlands "buy a property
for life". They do, in general, not buy several
properties, upgrading or downgrading, over their
lifetime. Once they have acquired a property,
that is where they will stay!

The majority of new dwellings are
constructed by private developers, followed by housing
associations and private builders in that order. Vacancy
is very low at 2.2% of the housing stock (in 2008) and
compares very favorably with most other EU-countries. The
Dutch housing market is therefore fairly complicated and
if you rent a place in a town and country you do not
know, it is probably better to get an agent to help you.
They will give you advice where to rent and of which
areas to stay clear. They will also know, what the usual
price, quality, contractual and rental procedures are.
Sometimes the prospective employer will have a person to
help. The agents should also have a good selection of
properties on their books.

The
Dutch rental market, even the free market, is highly
regulated. The government regulates rents up to
about Euro 650.00 a month (2010). Everything
above that, is in the "liberalized" market. The
basis for the rental rate is a points system (woningwaarderingsstelsel)that rates everything from floor space to the
quality of heating, size of rooms, the quality of
the finish, etc. This applies to both the rent controlled
and the liberalized market. If you feel you are paying
too much you can go to the local huurteam, who
will then set the rent. You can do this even
after you signed a contract. Everything will be taken
into account when the new rent is assessed, including
your economic link to the area (e.g. whether your
employer is in or out of the area). You can find out more
about the system by going to www.vrom.nl(The Ministry of
Housing, Planning and the Environment - the site is in
Dutch and English)

Do not
sign a sub let, because you can be evicted with very
short notice.

The
Initial Costs of Renting and the Rental Contract

You
should expect to pay two months rent as a deposit,
plus one month rent in advance to the landlord.
If you used an agent, he will charge you a commission
of one month rent plus VAT (at the moment 19%).
This is fairly standard all over Europe.

Your
rental contractshould
include

The
status of your property (furnished,
unfurnished, semi furnished) with an exact
inventory of what is included. Make photos of the
condition of any furniture, before you move in!

The duration
of the lease (usually one year)

The notice
period (usually three months)

Any
service charges (cleaning of the
stairwells and common areas etc) described

Utilities
(heating and hot water) if they are included. But
make sure that the charge for these these are
exactly defined!

Americans
often like to include what they call a "diplomatic
clause", i.e. a clause that breaks
the lease if the occupant is recalled to his home
country. This is not common in
the Netherlands, though you can always try!

One you have decided on an area and a
property, make up your mind quickly and then
agree the terms in writing, e.g. in the rental contract. Make
sure, that the property is ready when you need it and
move in quickly!
